I used to write a lot about design but then I completely stopped. My last job was a lesson in how easy it is to generate fancy theories that bear no fruit. These last few years I've been heads down putting theory to practice, and I feel much clearer about my design philosophy.— David Cole (@irondavy) May 6, 2022

Doing this work has led me to become a great appreciator and student of the incredible work many others are doing in the space. And with that, here’s what I know and think you might be interested in knowing, too.And, it's shown me how many cool formats "editorial" can take. https://t.co/FaCQRnbROZ— Brie Wolfson (@zebriez) May 9, 2022

Some other cool prose formats I like are:-research digest from @mattsclancy -"letters from the lab" from @andy_matuschak -"comment letters" from @carbonplanorg -waxings like @brainpickings or @noampomsky's-interviews with greats like @Lethain's staff eng— Brie Wolfson (@zebriez) May 9, 2022

I find it easy to feel jumbled and uncertain with a scope this broad, and I have to repeatedly re-derive my current priorities/goals, almost daily. Often to help with that, I think in terms of broad-but-complete frameworks from other designers: https://t.co/5dgcrbh9tq— David Cole (@irondavy) May 9, 2022

There might be interesting anthology of memoirs about passing into the modern age of the time. Big excerpts from:Datini's letters (The Merchant of Prato)Chateaubriand's Memoirs from Beyond the GraveStefan Zweig's The World of Yesterdaywould require a v clever editor though— Simon Sarris (@simonsarris) May 9, 2022

1/ Did you know that Vannevar Bush (you know, the guy who helped enable everything from radar to the manhattan project, the NSF to memexes) wrote an autobiography? Turns out that yes he did, it's been out of print since the 70's, and it's *excellent* BOOK REPORT THREAD— Ben Reinhardt (@Ben_Reinhardt) January 30, 2020

Feels like a watershed moment for the new form of the "interactive essay". I am very excited by the work being done in this area. Here are some highlights:— Frank Lantz (@flantz) May 14, 2019

So Yudkowsky seems very big brain to LW-adjacent folks, whereas to debaters he represents the most simplistic form of analysis. The first thing every high school freshman learns is how to give a speech on "existential risk outweighs, you only die once"— Nintendo .DS_Store (@sliminality) May 10, 2022

As I started returning to writing again last year, I went and re-read a bunch of the classic design texts, assuming that I'd overlooked a lot of wisdom when I'd read them earlier in my career. Most striking was rereading "The Design of Everyday Things" and discovering I hated it. https://t.co/RxZmdqainN— David Cole (@irondavy) May 10, 2022

Chatting with @camwiese today about his New World's Fair (which hopes to paint an optimistic, definite vision of the future), I noticed how these projects so often turn to *retro*futurism in art direction. What would a now-rooted, forward-facing hopepunk aesthetic look like? pic.twitter.com/sJZ5oVzIfl— Andy Matuschak (afk thru 05/30) (@andy_matuschak) May 11, 2022

It’s interesting — lots of people talking about alternative models for research funding, but I don’t see anyone looking for new ways to get smart, ambitious people to work on something together.— Patrick Dubroy (@dubroy) May 13, 2022

I haven't been able to get over the feeling that there is something important missing from most independent research (besides the obvious things) that academia *does* seem to get right. Realized what it is: rigor.— Ben Reinhardt (@Ben_Reinhardt) May 18, 2022

I recently streamed a 5.5hr session of me building a prototype (for patrons). I've done a few of these now—I'm interested in how livestreams might help convey tacit knowledge, particularly in domains which are normally apprenticeship-oriented.Some observations on the medium:— Andy Matuschak (@andy_matuschak) May 5, 2022
